Dogs

[Verse 1: David Gilmour]

You got to be crazy, you gotta have a real need

Gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street

You got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed

Then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight

You got to strike when the moment is right without thinking

And after a while, you can work on points for style

Like the club tie, and the firm handshake

A certain look in the eye and an easy smile

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to

So that when they turn their backs on you

You'll get the chance to put the knife in

[Guitar Solo: 1:50 - 2:23]

[Interlude: Roger Waters]

Wah! *laughter*

[Verse 2: David Gilmour]

You gotta keep one eye

Looking over your shoulder

You know, it's gonna get harder, harder and harder

As you get older

Yeah, and in the end you'll pack up, fly down south

Hide your head in the sand

Just another sad old man

All alone and dying of cancer

[Guitar Solo: 3:03 - 4:45]

[Interlude: 4:46 - 5:31]

*dogs barking and howling*

[Guitar Solo: 5:32 - 6:44]

[Verse 3: David Gilmour, David Gilmour & Richard Wright]

And when you lose control

You'll reap the harvest you have sown

And as the fear grows

The bad blood slows and turns to stone

And it's too late to lose the weight

You used to need to throw around

So have a good drown as you go down

All alone, dragged down by the stone

[Interlude: 7:59 - 10:01]

(Stone, stone, stone, stone, stone, stone, stone...)

*dogs barking and howling*

[Instrumental Break: 10:02 - 12:14]

[Verse 4: Roger Waters]

Got to admit that I'm a little bit confused

Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used

Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off

This creeping malaise

If I don't stand my own ground

How can I find my way out of this maze?

Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending

That everyone's expendable and no one has a real friend

And it seems to you the thing to do

Would be to isolate the winner

Everything's done under the sun

But you believe at heart everyone's a killer

[Guitar Solo: 13:26 - 15:18]

[Outro: Roger Waters]

Who was born in a house full of pain?

Who was trained not to spit in the fan?

Who was told what to do by the man?

Who was broken by trained personnel?

Who was fitted with collar and chain?

Who was given a pat on the back?

Who was breaking away from the pack? (Breaking away from the pack)

Who was only a stranger at home? (Only a stranger at home)

Who was ground down in the end? (Ground down in the end)

Who was found dead on the phone? (Found dead on the phone)

Who was dragged down by the stone?

Who was dragged down by the stone?
